flamingo, Happy Birthday! And give us a pic! What was in the little box? Sounds like he did a great job surprising you.

Congested but she seems to be in a good mood. She slept ok last night, lots of coughing. I just felt her forehead and she feels warm so probably a low fever. Thanks for asking. |

Morning! Happy birthday flamingo! I have only received one box from Black Friday yet, with a couple of small gifts for the girls. Today I’m supposed to get a couple more. My UPS app says I’m getting something from target today but I don’t remember ordering anything from them 🤔 My DH works for one of the delivery companies and he said he doesn’t think he will be home until 9:30/10. And that not all of the packages will fit on the trucks. So crazy. Thank you online shoppers for the overtime check. |

Happy Birthday flamingo! You posted before I could use my Brad Pitt "what's in the box" gif. I told you it was a box in a box trick. Gotta love it! |

I'm so happy I saw the UPS guy pull up last night. I had a delivery that was a 61 pound hockey goal. The box was marked. I was able to run outside and have the delivery guy put it in my garage. If we had come home to that on the porch, the kids would have seen it and I probably wouldn't have been able to move it.

I did this yesterday with B’s train table...fortunately heard the truck and was able to intercept the UPS man in the front yard. So we now have that and the giant truck box in the garage under blankets. trtlcrzy thank your H for us, I’m glad he gets good overtime pay this time of year! I know those guys are all working hard. 9:30/10 is crazy! |

Happy Birthday flamingo!!! Very beautiful ring! inthekitty 😂😂😂 Very crazy about Matt Lauer melaniesue .... they were super calm during the announcement. I wonder if they knew anything ahead of time? They said they didn’t know until this morning. We are only doing stocking and one big gift each for our kids this year. We have a lot of family that will get them gifts so that will be plenty. So hopefully I won’t be bombarded with boxes like everyone is lol. We got Gunner the Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage. |

looking for N13 input. I am getting a recliner because I hate my couch but can't part with it and I would rather sit and rock.
I have 2 options
1) get a cheap one that is meh looking and may not be the most comfortable (~$175)
2) get a more expensive power one that is cheaper quality (~$500)
MH doesn't want the power one because it has to be plugged in and there would be a cord but I think we need to run a power strip under the couch anyways so we can plug in phones and computers. The power one I have sat in and like. It gives the option of putting the foot rest up a little and still rocking. If I got the cheap one I could potentially get 2 and put 1 in the bedroom for better 2nd tv watching options.

Don't want something meh looking and don't want something I'd have to plug in. |

How's H's ear this morning, tgrimes ? There was still a bit of gunk in it and he woke up crying several times last night. Poor thing. He's in a good mood though. |

I was already in bed, awake, and could hear the rumbling of a large truck outside. I was like are they still making deliveries at this hour? Wow. |

I remember last holiday season getting some packages pretty late! I don't envy delivery people this time of year. |

trtlcrzy, since YH is a delivery guy, what would he recommend as a treat for service? Would he take a bag of trail mix or a bottle of gatorade if it was on the porch or are they too busy to notice such things? Or hesitant to take?

@sunny, Of the two choices, I would pick the second, but I don't like the idea of a piece of furniture that needs to plug-in. Maybe keep looking. Are you set on a recliner or would a chair and a half do the trick? I'm glad to hear he's in a good mood, tgrimes. I hope that means he's not in any pain. Glad S is feeling better, trtlcrzy! Beautiful ring, flamingo! |

Gorgeous ring flamingo! Happy Birthday!! S woke at 4:45 this morning 😬. She’s still pretty miserable. She went down for a nap at about 8:00 already and is still sleeping. I should be using this time to shower and put up Christmas tree, but instead I’m sitting on my ass doing nothing and catching up on Days of our Lives. I haven’t been watching regularly but like to catch up every now and again. |

Sunny41 my parents have an electric recliner. It’s great for them because their body parts don’t work like they used to...lol. Hip, back, and knee issues spread out between them. It saves them the pain. They can’t hardly close our recliner which is manual. I enjoy theirs when I’m visiting. They have it in a corner and there is an end table and then couch on the other side of it and you can’t see the cord. So I think the placement works well. But if the cord was going to be stretched out and noticeable I wouldn’t like that.

So MH's back hurts when he is done with the day. I think it is bad shoes that he started wearing again after being back from PR. One night he decided that he couldn't sleep in the bed anymore which has a memory foam topper on it. He opened up his 1inch thick camper pad and has been sleeping on it for 4 nights now. I laugh each night as he lays down on the floor next to me in a Cal King bed. But at least we are in the same room. Also he says that I fall asleep immediately and start snoring. I don't fall asleep quick and it is the cat snoring.
